Overview

A linear walk to Newtyle, which heads via field paths and tracks from the bus stop at Auchterhouse up towards higher ground, passing Bonnyton and Scotston. It then enters an area of forest where the route curves round the northern slopes of Henderston Hill before reaching the top of Kinpurney, from where there are panoramic long views. The descent from there to Newtyle completes the walk.
